SYMPTOMS

When you print a check in Microsoft Money, the payee's name may print twice in the address area of the check.

CAUSE

This behavior may occur if you convert a Money 2.x or 3.x data file that contains payee address information and the payee's name was listed in the address area in the older file.

RESOLUTION

Use one of the following methods to eliminate the duplicated name.

Method 1 (Recommended)

Use the appropriate method for your version of Money.

On the navigation bar, click Accounts & Bills, and then click Categories & Payees.In the Left pane, click Payees.Click to select the payee that you want, and then click Go to Payee.In the detail screen for the Payee that you selected, remove the payee name or retype the address without typing the Payee name in any of the address fields.

Money 2000

  1. On the navigation bar, click More, and then click Categories & Payees.
  2. In the Left pane, click Payees.
  3. Click to select the payee you want, and then click Go to Payee.
  4. In the detail screen for the Payee you have chosen, retype the address without typing the Payee name in any of the address fields.

Money 99 and Money 98

  2. Select the payee that needs to be changed, and then click Go To Details.

Method 2

Note This procedure is the faster method if you have many payees. However, the method is not recommended because you have to enter the name in the Payee Details address area for all future payees.

  2. In the Options dialog box, click the Print Checks tab.
